Hey guys just about to paint the front of 74 hq van just wanted to know witch I'd tags get painted from factory. Is it just the passenger side or does the skinny one get painted aswell

That would depend on the factory the car was produced.

Adelaide Panelvan build - Firewall Black... tags not painted.
Sydney, Melb used Van bodies from another plant.
Brisbane Panalvan Build - Firewall External colour and body tag painted...

... or something like that. Someone else will fill you in. :-)

Mine is 3/74 Adelaide built with body colour firewall. Tags are clean but they have been off on a previous rebuild

What about inner guards? Same as firewall??
Also if bodies were from another plant, how did they arrive in Brisbane or Adelaide???

Inner guards were semi-gloss black on all commericials, or slop bucket black depending some opinions.

Black semi-gloss - Dulon Medium Gloss Black 578-4149

I thought Panelvan bodies were only built in Adelaide (Elizabeth) and Brisbane (Acicia Ridge). Although the car could of been assembled in Sydney or Melbourne.

Pagewood built their own bodies for 12 months in HQ which includes their Sandman van production.

From memory Elizabeth 3/74 will be all naked tags with body colour firewall and slops black inner guards. I have all the data at home.

I reckon the blackouts were that Dulon semi gloss also. Tuxedo black looks wrong to me. They were blackouts, not black highlights. That's on HX and HZ. Don't think HQ and j had any blackouts.

HQ-HJ used 578-4149 for blackouts, it is a low gloss black as used on interior plastics. LX used the same black on SS and also on A9X bonnet so I assume HX-HZ was the same.
